Learn Spanish in Cadiz

About Cádiz, Spain

Founded by the Phoenicians over 3,000 years ago, Cádiz is considered to be the oldest extant city in the western world. Due to its prime location on a peninsula-island, Cádiz has long been one of Spain's premier ports. Christopher Columbus certainly thought so, as he set sail from these shores to the Americas on several occasions. Ancient history, cosmopolitan Europe, intimate port life and a vibrant social scene meld seamlessly here, making it an incredible setting to learn Spanish.

While its famously wild Carnaval celebrations have certainly put Cádiz on the map, this city's biggest draw is its surprisingly laid-back, easy-going atmosphere. Discover cafés, lively fresh seafood markets, blind alleys, pastel-colored facades, and the winding cobbled backstreets of the city's old quarter and you'll find yourself inevitably charmed by the tranquil treasures Cádiz holds around every corner.

Contemporary Cádiz serves up an eclectic mix of offerings to both its visitors and 135,000 residents. Great beaches, sweeping views of the sea and long, palm-lined promenades complement the town's lively bars, fantastic museums, bustling commercial activity, and jaw-dropping Cathedrals typical of any prized European city. Cádiz holds a category all its own... it's no wonder tourists and residents alike find it so hard to leave!
